Woman jailed for petrol attack faces charges

A WOMAN who was jailed for three years earlier this week for dousing petrol over an 18-month-old girl appeared in court concerning a further five charges.

At Limerick Circuit Court last Monday, Judge Seán O Donnabháin jailed Majella McCarthy, aged 26, of Galway Road, Ennis, Co Clare, after she was found guilty of three counts of assault causing harm at Spanish Point Road, Miltown Malbay, on March 4 last.

McCarthy suffers from what doctors described as an antisocial personality disorder.
